humiliated - Story 67564 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Are you sure you still want to go through with this?" Mrs. Peterson asked, her voice filled with concern. David just shrugged, fiddling with the microphone cord. He had been planning this karaoke night for months, even though he wasn't really much of a singer. Then, his rival, Jake, had announced a concert with an up-and-coming band at the same time.

David hadn't seen a single RSVP for his party. He was so mortified.

He cleared his throat. "Yeah, I'm good." The words felt hollow, a lie spoken to himself.
